Why you’ll love

If you love the outdoors, Boulder is for you. You will appreciate Flatirons, the famous peaks of the city, as you walk through Chautauqua Park, or you can drive 40 minutes to Eldorado Canyon State Park for rock climbing and fishing with flies. The ecological city planning has just launched a bike-sharing program of $ 5 a day, and do not miss anything in Boulder Creek Path. If you need a break, go to the shops and walk around the mall Pearl Street.

Why is it a good plan

Boulder is located 45 minutes drive from the Denver airport, the center of Frontier Airlines, a major hub for United and fastest growing market for Southwest. The magnitude of the daily flights means that the average rate in Denver is below the national average.

Where to stay

You can commune with nature in Chautauqua Cottages (chautuqua.com) with a starting price of $ 123 per night in summer) at the foothills of Flatirons.
